From metal to plastic
The existing, cost-intensive brass component, which required extensive CNC rework, has been replaced by a cost-optimized and finished solution made of plastic. The component's requirements include, in addition to mechanical strength values, temperature resistance during continuous operation at 140°C and pressure tightness of up to 20 bar.
To produce the component as a finished part, an injection molding tool is used with various sliders and thread formers to replicate all areas.
Cost reduction
Complete elimination of CNC machining and significant material savings due to change from brass to plastics. Finished plastic solution directly from the tool.
Added value
>70%
Function integration
Plastics solution allows integration of further functions and the optmization of the customer's assembly process. Internal and external threads are directly formed in the injection molding tool.
Added value
>20min
Complexity reduction
A solution from development to series production from a single source.
Complexity reduction and significantly shorter lead times in the supply chain.
Added value
Factor >15
Weight reduction
Material substitution from brass to plastic, resulting in a significant weight reduction.
Added value
>3.5kg
